Marc Gerson was quoted regarding the impact of of the release of the Trump administration's tax reform proposal. "It's kind of a stump speech document on taxes and essentially talks about tax relief without talking about process. You have to take a step back and ask is it really advancing the tax reform debate?" he said. By putting out a plan with little detail, President Trump may have created more uncertainty about the shape and timing of tax reform, Gerson said, adding that tax action may be further delayed as negotiators wait for more detail from the president and his Treasury.
